It all depends on tax policies. The States is known to side with rich people, namely banks, and disregard the poor and the middle class, so I am not surprised about the tremendous inequality going on in this country.

It's not that complicated. Do you want less rich people and more middle-class families? Put more taxes on the rich and use these taxes in more social projects.

The 1% helped society significantly for their wealth. If it wasn't for the 1%, we would be living like the Amish. Who made computers? The 1%. Who made most to all of the artificial things that are good in our life? The 1%. The 1% delivers technological progress to the world. They should not be punished with communism or taxes for that.

Yes, sure, this is the case in the US where there is such an obscene inequality growing more and more. Americans don't care about it, of course, as long as they keep wars in the Midlle East.

By the way, this kind of tax policies are applied in social democrat countries, especially in Europe. They understand that their people are an important asset for their development, which is why they socially support them, giving them a fair quality of life like good education, good housing, good healthcare, good social security. All of it at a low cost.

The USA also has the richest poor on the planet, as well as the largest percentage of people in the middle class. If that means we have to suffer the pangs of jealousy from billionaire over-achievers...well that's an easy decision for sane Americans to make.

America is one of the few places where exceptionally gifted people are allowed the freedom and opportunities to reach their full potential.

I guess you didn't get noticed American middle class has been declining since the 90s, which means only one thing, that inequality in the US is getting higher since then. Actually, Canada has a bigger middle-class than the US in percentage, and in this country despised by Americans people pay a lot of taxes.

Once we secure the southern border from the hordes of unproductive people fleeing socialist dystopian shitholes like guatemala, honduras, and venezuela, wealth will increase in America, and so will outcome equality. A win-win for both marxists and libertarians.

Quick, build more concrete walls [ |||||||||||||| ] to keep out the poor.

Lol we can already see the agenda behind your bullshit nonsense post.

People are either born into wealth, get lucky playing the lottery, or work their ass of for their money.

People who aren't born into wealth and/or don't have luck on their side need to work their ass off for money. But they don't like working hard, do they? Might as well steal the money from the people who busted their ass to earn it because you're lazy.

Duhh, how far into the future do rational, logical common sense humans believe this trend is sustainable?
